Cloudbrink has rolled out a new AI-powered mobile hotspot optimizer, designed to help roaming users stay securely connected in places where stable service is hard to come by—think remote manufacturing sites, conference centers, or anywhere reliable Wi-Fi is sketchy.

“Let’s face it—getting decent performance over a hotspot can be tricky, especially when security is a priority. Normally, you’d rely on a VPN, but that tends to cut your bandwidth in half, depending on how close the VPN server is,” says Manohar Reddy, Head of Products at Cloudbrink.

Cloudbrink was already miles ahead of traditional VPNs and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) services in terms of speed. Now, with the latest update specifically tuned for mobile hotspots, they’ve managed to double performance on tethered devices. That’s great news for anyone juggling hybrid or work-from-anywhere setups!

The USP? AI that automatically detects a mobile hotspot, finds the fastest edge connection, and uses smart algorithms to make up for packet loss. On top of that, Cloudbrink already gives users a 30% performance boost over Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, and broadband, according to tests by Broadband Testing.

Cloudbrink is pitching this new service as a replacement for VPNs and a high-performance ZTNA alternative. If you’re used to Zscaler or other VPN services, the improvement will feel even more dramatic.
